Hello Virtanen,
Re the power problems you're having:
1. You've disabled the BIOS power management features on the MB,
presumably using S/W on ROM, supplied on bootable fd with the MB or
installed onto a small 'maintenance partition' on your 'root' HD.
2. You've told the M$ OS not to use power

Besides 'shadow ram' and 'apm'. I've used to take even the power-cord out

Yes it was that.

video-card specific servers.

What kind of configurations you mean? What you need to do is this:
Get the docs for monitor (or find some info on the net) about vsync/hsync

The one off the 2.1 cd was a little outdated when I tried it with a v550

I suggest that you use xf86config. I find that this sets up the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file quite well. (I haven't used XF85Setup.)
You'll need to know your monitors scan rates and stuff, though. You
may have to fiddle with the /etc/X11/XF86Config after though to tweek
it optimally.
